SURVEYOR'S
ANNUAL REPORT.
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 25TH, 1900.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE VESTRY.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to submit the following Report and Statement of the
works executed under the supervision of this Department during the
12 months ending 25th March, 1900.
ROADS AND FOOTPATHS.
The works carried out under this head during the year have been
more extensive than usual, and have taken the direction of substitution
by a more permanent class of materials than those previously
in use in the streets dealt with, which must result in greater, comfort
to those people living in or using the streets, and a reduction in the
cost of maintenance and scavenging.
The Vestry, in the first instance, decided to convert the carriageways
in the following streets from macadam into asphalte:— Gun
street, Silex street, Little Lant street, Miniver street, Lombard street,
White Cross street, Falstaff yard, Alfreton street, Potier street; and
Union street was converted from a granite-paved road to an asphalte
road.
